*2 Months Later*

"Akene!" Michael called from our apartment kitchen.

"Yea! Im coming!" I said waddling towards the kitchen. We just moved in our new apartment that my mom helped rent out for Michael and I. Suprisingly she wasnt mad about me being pregnant, but my dreams of going to college in New York faded fromo my eyes. I was now stuck with a child.

"Yea whats wrong?" I asked

"I dont know how to cut this damn baby monitor on!" he said getting frustrated. I grabbed it and looked down at the batteries. I fixed the position of the batteries and turned it on. 

"You put the batteries in wrong." I said giving it to him. He gave a wicked look and I laughed. He laughed and kissed my cheek. "Oh hell if our baby had to sleep with us it was going to anyway." We both sat on the couch and I turned on the TV.

"Did you finish your application baby?" he asked.

"Yea. I hope I get in."

"Baby you smart as hell. University of Detriot will let you in I know it"

"Michael you should apply too. My mom said she would watch the baby."

"Awe babygirl...you know school is not for me. Ill just get a job."

"With what degree Michael?"

"You dont need no damn degree to get a fucking job." he said getting up. I sighed because he was giving up again. "Michael where are you going?"

"To smoke."

"Come here!"

"Dammit Akene give me some space! You always bring up this college shit and you know I dont want to. Ill get a job working at the car shop and it will be enough to take care of us. You need to start believing in me."

"I do believe in you baby. I just want whats best for you."

"What are you my fucking mom?"

"No..." I said puting my head down. "Good...now drop it. Im going to smoke." he said going on the porch. I sighed and went into the bedroom. I just wanted him to see that he was smart and could do anything he put his mind to. He's just not applying himself.

What was he scared of?

Appearently I fell asleep and I woke up around 6:30. I walked to the living room and saw Michael sitting on the couch watching a movie.

"Come here." he said quietly. I dragged and stood in front of him. "What do you want for dinner?" I asked.

"I ordered chinese. Its in the kitchen." he said. He pulled the covers up and told me to sit down. 

"Im sorry for being an ass earlier. I just want you to be something first. My job is to be the man of the house and make sure my girl and kid are taken care of. I want you to get your education because I dont want you to limit yourself."

"I didnt know that Michael. And Im sorry about pestering you. If thats what you want me to do Ill do it. I just care about you and I want the best for you. Thats all."

"And I appreciate it babygirl. I just dont think Im ready for college right now. Im not strong like you."

I put my hand on his cheek. "Take your time. And when you're ready do it. Ill be here to support you the whole way."

He smiled and kissed me. "I love you babygirl." I couldnt help but to smile back at him. "I love you too."

He kissed me once more and got up. "Now sit tight while I make you a plate. I got your favorite." he said winking. I laughed and said ok.
